As environment enthusiasts have heightened demand for reducing paper usage, envelope paper makers are growing their focus on reuse and recycling. With the newfound popularity of recycled and vintage envelopes, it is rapidly becoming an emerging trend in the envelope paper market, consequently transforming the existing business models of the key players.

Likewise, there is a growing trend of online gifting services that use premium envelope paper for this purpose. It might be a great opportunity for the market participants to expand their business. Several new companies have emerged to grab this opportunity as start-ups in the last couple of years.

Moreover, the proliferation of online distribution channels has made it easier for new envelope paper market players to acquire new clients and make a market presence.

However, long-term partnerships with several end-use verticals are still the preferred strategy followed by major envelope paper market players who supply the product in bulk. So it might be challenging for the entrepreneurs hoping for a quick fortune and penetrate the market. Though the initiative by the government of several emerging nations to promote handy craft is predicted to give them some leeway in this direction.
